What an outlook our state reps have!! Between O'Brien's make believe jobs and Defronzo's freight warehouses New Britain's outlook is brighter than ever.{SARCASM}

The last thing we need is the same old tired "I'll bring back the manufacturing jobs" rhetoric.

Bythe time our leaders figure out that New Britain's future is in education, arts and entertainment someone will have come along and pulled it out from under us.

Almost every study has shown that New Britain needs to connect to the thriving 10,000 plus and growing student body of CCSU.

With the upstart art district downtown we should be looking to draw students into town. Actively searching for a midsize concert venue that could be a mixed use arena that could host several CCSU basketball games, concerts, high school tounaments, corporate seminars and even a skating rink for public and or proffesional use.

Offer incentives for students to rent in and around downtown to create a campus feel.

Many small cities have effectively made the conversion to a more mixed economy that is less susceptible to recessions.

None have done so by "bringing back Manufacturing jobs"; July 20, 2009 at 10:32 PM

That should really bring new businesses to CT!; July 21, 2009 at 12:30 AM
